Authors: M. Hollenbach, K. Vu Trung, C. Heise, A. Gulla, A. E. Abou, F. Auriemma, S. Regner, S. Gaujoux
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims Familial-adenomatous-polyposis (FAP) is a rare inherited cancer predisposition syndrome. The treatment for FAP-related ampullary lesions (AL) is challenging and the role of endoscopic papillectomy (EP) is not elucidated yet. Data of FAP associated AL are limited and showed, at least in part, inconclusive results. We retrospectively analyzed the outcomes of EP in matched cohorts of FAP-related and sporadic ampullary lesions (SAL).
Retrograde Tubing as a Rescue Treatment of Megaesophagus: A Case Report
Authors: M. Slae, J. Demma, C. Weiss
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Results A 20 y/o boy suffering from familial dysautonomia (FD) has been referred to the clinic due to chronic cough, dyspnea, and desaturation secondary to recurrent aspirations of esophageal content. He developed a megaesophagus, severe food and secretion retention, leading to recurrent pneumonia, cardiac compression on cross-sectional imaging and exertional dyspnea. The patient was obliged to manually remove esophageal secretions, using his own fingers. As a rescue therapy, we replaced the existing gastrostomy tube with a gastrojejunostomy (GJ tube). However, rather than placing the Jejunostomy tube in the small bowel it was placed retrogradely directly to the esophagus, aided by fluoroscopy, demonstrating clearance of esophageal contrast media. The patient tolerated the procedure well and there were not any early or late complications. With passive esophageal drainage through the J port, the patient experienced significant relief. He could stop non-stop antibiotics, desaturation had resolved as well as other respiratory symptoms. He continued to be fed by the GJ gastro route.

Following Peroral Endoscopic Myotomy (POEM) for Achalasia Esophagram is a Reliable Predictor of Esophageal Contents on EGD
Authors: K. Dunleavy, A. Kamboj, D. Snyder, J. Alexander, D. Codipilly
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) treats achalasia, but patients have higher risk of gastroesophageal reflux (GER) compared to Heller myotomy. Post-POEM endoscopic GER screening is recommended to identify those at risk for reflux-related complications. Due to aspiration risk, endotracheal (ET) intubation is performed on achalasia patients for EGD, though it is unclear if the risk remains after POEM. We aimed to determine if esophagram ≥3 months post-POEM could predict the presence of esophageal contents on EGD.

An elegant alternative to surgery for the management of an epibronchial esophageal diverticulum
Authors: A. R. Franco, I. Simão, R. Mendes, A. Mascarenhas, C. O'Neill, R. Mendo, P. Barreiro
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Abstract Text We present a volumous 5cm epibronchial esophageal diverticulum which, due to high rates of expected surgery associated morbi-mortality, was managed by diverticular peroral endoscopic miotomy (D-POEM). Upon removal of abundant food residue inside the diverticulum, a submucosal bleb was created 25mm proximally to the septum’s diverticulum, where a 15-20mm extension mucosotomy was made. A submucosal tunnel was created which was then extended to both the end of the diverticulum and the esophagus, thus isolating the septum. Complete septum miotomy was then performed. The mucosal incision was then completely closed using hemoclips.

Authors: A. V. Patai, Z. Péter, K. Hagymási, A. Szijártó, E. Székely, I. Hritz
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Results A 75-year-old female patient underwent ERCP for obstructive jaundice at a secondary care hospital. Based on the endoscopic image an adenoma of the papilla was suspected, biopsies were taken, following endoscopic sphincterotomy (EST), common bile duct (CBD) clearance was performed. Histopathological analysis showed adenomatous hyperplasia. She was re-hospitalized for jaundice, biliary plastic stent was placed. Nine months later abdominal CT scan revealed dilated extrahepatic and intrahepatic ducts with the biliary stent in place and no pathology in the pancreas. She was referred to our center for ERCP. Fluoroscopy showed a stricture at the junction of the CBD and common hepatic duct. EST was extended and biliary plastic stent was replaced. Brush cytology samples were taken from the stricture showing high-grade dysplasia. The papilla was re-biopsied showing no signs of dysplasia or malignancy. For the direct visual evaluation of the indeterminate biliary stricture digital peroral single-operator cholangioscopy (SpyGlass DSII) was performed, which revealed a papillary structure. Cholangioscopy-assisted targeted biopsies were taken, and the plastic stent was exchanged. Histology from the strictured area revealed small bowel type intestinal metaplasia of the common bile duct. The patient was referred for surgical resection.

Novel use radiofrequency ablation at ERCP to successfully unblock at stenosed metal stent
Authors: S. Mole, J. Hawken, J. Portal
Journal: Endoscopy (2023)

Aims Intraductal biliary catheter directed radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been used to relieve malignant biliary obstruction in unresectable cases [1] [2] [3], but has rarely been described in benign biliary stenosis [4] [5]. We used SpyGlass cholangioscopy at ERCP to apply RFA to tight stenotic areas in a longstanding, uncovered self-expanding metal stent (SEMS). Our 63 year old male patient had complicated biliary surgery over thirty years prior, with consequent placement of an uncovered SEMS. He initially presented to our tertiary hepato-biliary centre aged 60 with cholangitis. Bile duct stones were successfully cleared with electro-hydraulic lithotripsy (EHL), and stenosis due to tissue hyperplasia within the stent managed with plastic pigtails stents and later remodelled with a covered SEMS. However, he continued to have recurrent cholangitis requiring multiple courses of antibiotics and ERCPs.
